Coastal Clinical & Management Services

What Coastal Clinical & Management Services does

Coastal Clinical & Management Services, operating under the trade name LUKE and legally LUKE Holdings, Inc., is a U.S. federal healthcare staffing company that places physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, mental health professionals, allied health specialists, and caregivers at Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. The company serves more than 150 military installations and staffs a workforce of more than 1,300 employees across 33 states. It operates as a prime contractor and subcontractor, maintaining direct relationships with Contracting Officer Representatives at federal facilities, with sales cycles that include 90-120 day credentialing and background-check processes.

The company does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its offering is a workforce-solutions service rather than a software product. Revenue is generated through professional-services staffing fees on permanent and temporary/contract assignments to federal clients, with pricing negotiated through government procurement processes (SAM.gov/GOV). Marketing and recruiting rely on multi-channel tactics including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, a corporate blog focused on mission and human-flourishing themes, employee referrals, and partnerships such as the DoD SkillBridge program for transitioning military personnel. Certifications including Joint Commission accreditation, ISO 9001, MSEP membership, and SIA affiliation differentiate the company in a regulated market.

Leadership is composed heavily of former senior federal officials, including CEO John Sanders (former Acting Commissioner and COO of U.S. Customs and Border Protection) and senior executives with TSA, CBP, and Border Patrol backgrounds. A 2025 advisory board chaired by Major General Thomas Solhjem adds senior military credibility, and a November 2025 national partnership with Asset Health extends the company's footprint beyond staffing into holistic wellness services for veterans, military personnel, and their families.
